There needs to be a new civil rights movementof those who have allowed themselves to beeducated by life, but who have been unjustlybarred by inferior intellects from rewardingthemselves for their efforts.

I only have a few things to say about a variety of different
issues, but I only have enough to fit a paragraph or two on each
issue. So if it seems like I am all over the place on this article, I
apologize ahead of time.

Ghostbusters Folly Continued

About three months ago I wrote an article about the recent
Ghostbusters remake. I wrote about how the trailer indicated
that Sony was taking the franchise in the wrong direction. Not that
any of this was a surprise to me considering that Hollywood has a
habit of remaking and rebooting great movies and turning them into a
shell of what they once were. What did shock me was the way that Sony,
along with the director and one of the cast members decided to respond
to the movie’s negative criticism by attacking the fan base. In
my entire thirty-six-years on this planet I had never seen anything
like it. What do they have to show for it? Well considering that the
movie is likely going to end up being seventy-million dollars short of
its budget, I would say not much. Instead of spending all their time
pandering to feminists and attacking their fan base, maybe Sony should
take a few prompts from Walt Disney and provide a little fan
service.

Freedom of Association

Recently a restaurant owner in Maine decided to get on a political
high horse by announcing on her web page that she will refuse service
to AR-15 owners. Putting aside the obvious problem of how this woman
would be able to tell which individual entering her restaurant owns an
AR-15, short of them announcing said ownership or possibly walking in
with the offensive weapon. What this woman didn’t seem to
realize is that while she certainly had a right to deny her goods and
services to people that she didn’t want to associate with,
freedom of association actually works both ways. As soon as she wrote
the announcement on her webpage, she had to quickly take it down after
receiving several threats of boycotts from angry gun owners. It is
funny how she claims that she still stands by her original
announcement of refusing service to AR-15 owners, but responsible
gun owners are welcomed. I remember what libertarian YouTuber,
Shane Killian once said about anti-discrimination laws. He said that
he would actually prefer that a business owner be open about his
ignorance and bigotry, so that it would make it easier for the
consumers to decide whether they want to patronize that business. This
is a prime example of this concept being put into action.

The Fall of the Young Turks

I wrote about the internet news show that goes by the name of
The Young Turks once in an article titled More Denial
about the show’s host Cenk Uygur’s denial of the Armenian
genocide. I make no bones about the fact that I have never thought
much about the show from the very start. I actually have even less
regard for the show’s journalistic integrity then I do of the
integrity of the mainstream media. I never thought that my opinion of
the show could sink any lower, until I saw these clowns at the
Republican National Convention. While they were doing one of their
live shows they were interrupted by talk radio host, Alex Jones. It
was claimed by Jones that he was actually invited to the show, but you
could easily tell that Uygur wasn’t at all happy about Jones
walking up on the stage. He became even less happy when Jones gave him
a t-shirt with a picture of Bill Clinton that had the word Rapist
written on the bottom. Uygur then crumpled the t-shirt up and called
Jones sick. He then went off the rails when he screamed at
conservative writer, Roger Stone who was actually standing off stage
for the lies that he wrote about the Clintons. When Stone left
the area, Uygur then turned his wrath towards Alex Jones and proceeded
to scream in his face. Of course he wasn’t the only member of
the crew that resorted to the behavior of a ghetto woman on a talk
show yelling at her boyfriend’s ex that her man wasn’t her
baby’s daddy. Ann Kasparian, the woman who I like to refer to as
the self-hating Armenian, decided to call Alex Jones a Fat
Fuck. It gets even better when another member of the crew spit
right in the face of Jones. Just when you think it couldn’t get
any more surreal, the camera crew tried to lift their shirts above
their shoulders so they could block the fiasco from being viewed by
the general public. Yeah, a little too late for that guys. If you
didn’t want your boss to look a buffoon you should have done a
better job of calming him down. Way to go guys. Not only have you
thrown whatever journalistic integrity that you did have out of the
window, but you actually made Alex Jones, a man who has been called
everything from a clown to a psycho by the mainstream press, look
good. Good job guys.

Election Day

In less than a month, we will once again be faced with the same old
dilemma of having to choose the lesser of two evils. I can certainly
say that I am not at all thrilled at the prospect of a Trump
presidency and even less thrilled with the thought of Hillary being
our next president. So I can certainly sympathize with conservatives
and libertarians who don’t trust Trump as far as they can throw
him. Though the biggest whiners have been the Social Justice Warriors
and the Establishment Republicans who cringe at the possibility of
having one of the most politically incorrect presidents in recent
memory grace the Oval Office. I have absolutely no sympathy for these
people, since they are the ones who are responsible for Trump’s
success in the first place. The reason why so many people find Trump
appealing is because they are tired of political correctness and
having Republican candidates that aren’t much different than
their democratic adversaries. You guys made your beds, now you get to
lie in them with the rest of the country. Though you guys get to do it
without complaint.

What is it with Australia?

I have always found it somewhat telling that the victim disarmament
crowd is always telling us that they aren’t after our guns, yet
whenever they are asked about which gun control they think is
effective they always mention Australia, the place where gun
confiscation actually occurred. That is like the CIA telling us that
they are against torture, but think that the Spanish Inquisition had
the best interrogation tactics.

Dinesh d’ Souza

While I realize that Dinesh d’ Souza has the same
shortcomings as the rest of his fellow conservatives, I am actually a
fan of his work. I liked his 2016 documentary and absolutely
loved America. I haven’t seen Hillary’s America
yet, but I have read the book and it was definitely a good read. I did
have some minor disagreements here and there, but what bothered me the
most was the paragraph at the end of his book where he told
libertarians that we should give up on our dream of ever having one of
our own in the presidency and support a Republican candidate that is
pro-free Market. Dinesh, buddy, just about all libertarians know that
we are never going to have a hardcore libertarian occupying the Oval
Office. Hell, we couldn’t even get a conservative with strong
libertarian leanings like Ron Paul passed the Republican
Establishment. I can’t speak for all libertarians, but I am sure
that there are many like myself, who would love to settle for a
Republican that supports the free market. Where can we find one?
Donald I am Going to Raise Tariffs Trump is hardly a champion
for the free market. Come to think of it, when was the last time we
had a Republican candidate or president that was pro-free market? It
sure as hell wasn’t Mitt Romneycare Romney or John McCain
or any member of the Bush clan. To be honest, I don’t even think
that Ronald Reagan was as big of a free marketer as you and your
conservative buddies claim. If you guys want our votes so badly, then
you are going to have to bring something better to the table.

Trans Confusion

I remember that there was a time when I thought that the social
conservatives were full of crap when many of them said that once gay
marriage was legalized, we would fall down the slippery slope where
people were able to marry their dogs. Granted, we are still a long way
off from having bestiality legitimized, but it still seems as if
social conservatives weren’t that far off after all. First we
have the whole transgender acceptance movement that started with the
Bruce/Kaitlyn Jenner publicity. Of course the whole trans movement
didn’t just stop with gender. We later had a white woman who
identified as black and another who called herself a transdragon. No,
I’m not kidding. I don’t think I could have made these
crazy scenarios up. Though Trey Parker and Matt Stone sure did when
they wrote the South Park episode about how Kyle, the token
Jewish kid was turned into a tall black kid, so he could play
basketball. What is even funnier is seeing his dad transformed into a
dolphin and then complaining about a sports stadium not having
restrooms to accommodate him. I swear both Matt Stone and Trey Parker
are prophets.

Now I want to point out that I could care less if somebody wants to
call themselves transgender, transdragon, transK-9, or transdinosaur.
To quote Estelle Getty from the eighties classic, Mannequin “I
don’t care if he runs around naked with a rubber glove on his
head and yells ‘Hi, I’m a squid.’” What I do care about is
that there is a movement trying to shove acceptance of transgender
lifestyles down everybody’s throats. That is why we have this
whole restroom controversy where everybody has to recognize a trans
person’s alternate gender whether that person conveniently
decided to become a different gender on a particular day,
doesn’t really matter. I remember talking to a few social
conservatives about the gay marriage issue and many told me that they
didn’t really care about two people of the same sex getting
married as much as they did about the government having to subsidize
it with their tax dollars. I realized that they actually had a point.
Though many of them seemed to scoff at the libertarian idea of
privatizing marriage and treating all unions between consenting adults
as private contracts. Now that there is a good chance that the
government could extend marriage to God knows what, how is marriage
privatization sounding now, guys?
